Every one of us can make a difference in the ongoing habitat
and wildlife loss by planting native plants! 

 Do you have a yard that celebrates real Florida? One filled with native plants that support pollinators, birds, and biodiversity?

Each month, the Sierra Club Northeast Florida Group highlights a local yard that’s putting native plants to work in beautiful and impactful ways through our Planting with a Purpose: Yard of the Month series. This isn’t about “Florida Friendly” — it’s about Florida native. We’re looking for native landscapes of all shapes and sizes — whether you’re just getting started or already deep into your planting journey. Experts like Dr. Doug Tallamy recommend aiming for around 70% native plants in the long run — that’s the tipping point where your yard begins to truly support local wildlife and restore ecosystem health.

🌻 Native plants aren't just beautiful — they’re essential.

If your yard fits the bill, we want to hear from you! Submit a few photos and a short narrative describing your landscape and how you’re helping wildlife thrive.
